Then God put these lights in the sky to shine on the earth,
Did you ever tell the sun to rise? And did it obey?
Our LORD and Ruler, your name is wonderful everywhere on earth! You let your glory be seen in the heavens above.
I often think of the heavens your hands have made, and of the moon and stars you put in place.
I, the LORD, have an agreement with day and night, so they always come at the right time. You can't break the agreement I made with them,
Jeremiah, I will never break my agreement with the day and the night or let the sky and the earth stop obeying my commands.
The Lord has given us this command, “I have placed you here as a light for the Gentiles. You are to take the saving power of God to people everywhere on earth.”
